to get on something like cowbell action. 03:47.320 --> 03:51.560 The cowbell song brought to you by years of static kicking off another week of the daily 03:51.560 --> 03:52.560 source code. 03:52.560 --> 03:53.560 Hi, everybody. 03:53.560 --> 03:57.320 Adam Curry coming to you from the Curry Cottage in the affluent suburb of Surrey 03:57.320 --> 03:59.640 known as Guilford Beautiful Day today. 03:59.640 --> 04:04.560 Start off a little bit hazy, but of course, can't complain because we had an even more 04:04.560 --> 04:06.760 beautiful weekend, which I'll tell you all about. 04:06.840 --> 04:14.360 It was jam-packed somewhat hectic at times and involved a lot of travel and lodging stuff. 04:14.360 --> 04:16.440 Always something interesting happened, I'll tell you about that. 04:16.440 --> 04:22.760 By the way, thanks to Yifthach Levy, who said, I don't hope this message finds you well, 04:22.760 --> 04:25.400 we're searching for music to add to the first episode of my own show today. 04:25.400 --> 04:29.360 I came across the cowbell song by years of static, which I think you'll love. 04:29.360 --> 04:36.360 It seems like Yifthach is getting ready for his own podcast, which will be located 04:36.360 --> 04:40.480 at HowDueJew.com. 04:40.480 --> 04:44.280 I think I've talked about Yifthach before, or maybe he sent an audio comment or something, 04:44.280 --> 04:46.080 but I recognize it. 04:46.080 --> 04:53.080 Oh, man, I've got a whole new set up, so I'm a little bit distracted, a little discombobulated 04:53.080 --> 04:57.560 if you will, because when you've got your studio and your set up or studio, we've got 04:57.560 --> 05:01.640 all your gear set up and everything is just so, and then you change stuff and you have 05:01.640 --> 05:06.320 different boxes and different devices, it gets a little harrowing at times. 05:06.600 --> 05:07.960 I'm not going to tell you exactly what happened. 05:07.960 --> 05:13.320 I just want to stay with a wheel, of course, but now, right now, I just want to stay with 05:13.320 --> 05:17.640 the cowbell vibe, because it seems like people are back on a cowbell trip. 05:17.640 --> 05:20.040 I wonder if my cowbelling has anything to do with it. 05:20.040 --> 05:27.320 Tom Morris sent a track that he thought I might want to add to my cowbell predilection. 05:27.320 --> 05:28.320 Yes, what? 05:28.320 --> 05:29.320 What? 05:29.320 --> 05:30.320 I got a fever. 05:30.320 --> 05:31.320 I got a fever. 05:31.320 --> 05:32.320 I got a fever. 05:32.320 --> 05:33.320 I got a fever. 05:33.320 --> 05:34.320 I got a fever. 05:35.320 --> 05:36.320 Yeah. 05:36.320 --> 05:37.320 It's, uh, what is it called? 05:37.320 --> 05:40.320 It's, uh, who does this thing? 05:40.320 --> 05:43.320 I'll put a link to it in the show notes. 05:43.320 --> 05:49.320 It wasn't exactly the kind of track that I would go for, but it had, of course, the required 05:49.320 --> 05:52.320 cowbell voice drops in there, so, very cool. 05:52.320 --> 05:54.320 Thank you very much, dude. 05:54.320 --> 06:01.320 Before the weekend, we kicked off, uh, really here in the, in the cottage, we kicked off all 06:02.320 --> 06:05.320 of the festivities, if you will. 06:05.320 --> 06:10.320 With, uh, Christina's very first podcast, pod save the queen. 06:10.320 --> 06:14.320 And, uh, I have to say, it was phenomenal. 06:14.320 --> 06:17.320 It was absolutely, I was blown away. 06:17.320 --> 06:21.320 Not just so you have a little bit of, of history as to how this came about. 06:21.320 --> 06:24.320 I've been asking Christina and people, you know, listeners to the Charlie been listening, 06:24.320 --> 06:30.320 Christina, I haven't asking Christina if she would ever start her podcast, which she alluded to. 06:30.320 --> 06:37.320 Now, she's, um, 15 going on 16, and this is the, uh, the year I think around October. 06:37.320 --> 06:40.320 So, actually, when she's 16, there you go. 06:40.320 --> 06:44.320 She can actually start doing part-time work, and very typical for, um, 06:44.320 --> 06:50.320 15 to 16 year old girls here in Guilford is, to go work at, uh, the barber shop or the 06:50.320 --> 06:55.320 hair salon, Tony and guy, uh, or maybe work at top shop or just anywhere you can 06:55.320 --> 06:58.320 get a Saturday in part-time gig. 06:58.320 --> 07:02.320 And, uh, so I, you know, kept here in Christina, 07:02.320 --> 07:05.320 talk about her friends who were where they were working. 07:05.320 --> 07:10.320 I said, you know, there is a real opportunity for you if you want to make some money, uh, 07:10.320 --> 07:13.320 by doing a podcast because I'm pretty sure that it would be, it would work. 07:13.320 --> 07:15.320 It would be popular, it would be successful. 07:15.320 --> 07:20.320 And, uh, somehow the, the quarter finally dropped and she said, okay, I'll do it. 07:20.320 --> 07:23.320 And she said that, uh, was it Friday when Patricia and I were doing the show. 07:23.320 --> 07:27.320 And she came up and she was ready right after we were done. 07:27.320 --> 07:30.320 She had her MP3 files, which she'd emailed to me. 07:30.320 --> 07:34.320 She had all kinds of notes, which were bullet points, because I did kind of 07:34.320 --> 07:37.320 cheat a little peek there, but it was all bullet points. 07:37.320 --> 07:41.320 And, um, and, you know, I just hit record and off she went. 07:41.320 --> 07:45.320 And I could, and a lot of people actually emailed and say or left comments and said that, 07:45.320 --> 07:49.320 um, I was, my presence was too prevalent, but I couldn't help it. 07:49.320 --> 07:52.320 I was just sitting, I was, I, I, my mic was not on. 07:52.320 --> 07:54.320 She had the mic that Patricia normally uses. 07:54.320 --> 07:55.320 I just couldn't help laughing. 07:55.320 --> 07:56.320 I was funny. 07:56.320 --> 08:02.320 And I was just blown away by how he, how, how easily she slipped right into it. 08:02.320 --> 08:03.320 It was fantastic. 08:03.320 --> 08:08.320 So podsavethequeen.com is where we can find Christina's podcast. 08:08.320 --> 08:13.320 And I guess she'll be doing one, um, once a week, you know, to kind of ease 08:13.320 --> 08:14.320 into it. 08:14.320 --> 08:16.320 Although she was already talking about, well, maybe I could do a different show with 08:16.320 --> 08:17.320 this person. 08:17.320 --> 08:21.320 Why don't we just take it slowly and she's already in contact with the, 08:22.320 --> 08:26.320 with her listeners, with her audience and helping her on the website and getting everything 08:26.320 --> 08:28.320 set up podsavethequeen.com. 08:28.320 --> 08:29.320 You know what? 08:29.320 --> 08:30.320 I'm a proud popper. 08:30.320 --> 08:33.320 I got to tell you it very proud. 08:33.320 --> 08:37.320 So then Saturday, um, had a trip planned to go see my mom. 08:37.320 --> 08:39.320 As you know, I think, you know, she's in the hospital. 08:39.320 --> 08:41.320 She's been there for two weeks. 08:41.320 --> 08:45.320 Um, and the main reason was, she, her, her general condition, 08:45.320 --> 08:48.320 a, a interior, a deteriorated significantly. 08:48.320 --> 08:50.320 So they need to do a couple things. 08:50.320 --> 08:52.320 And the main thing is pain management. 08:52.320 --> 08:56.320 And you just can't do that, you know, with a visit to the doctor and then coming back 08:56.320 --> 08:59.320 two or three days later and saying, well, this work, this didn't work. 08:59.320 --> 09:01.320 It really has to happen under supervision. 09:01.320 --> 09:06.320 And so she's got a team of great doctors, um, who are on the pain management team, 09:06.320 --> 09:10.320 led by this one guy, uh, who, uh, my mom calls a Pablo Escobar. 09:10.320 --> 09:12.320 I call him the candy man. 09:12.320 --> 09:13.320 And, uh, they're doing it. 09:13.320 --> 09:18.320 They, they figured out the right mix of, gosh, I don't know what the hell it is. 09:18.320 --> 09:22.320 I mean, variance and pretness on and caution is what. 09:22.320 --> 09:26.320 Uh, but it's working because I saw her on Saturday and she looked phenomenal. 09:26.320 --> 09:28.320 She's ready to leave the hospital now. 09:28.320 --> 09:33.320 Um, of course, now she's in this, in this very interesting fight because, you know, 09:33.320 --> 09:38.320 they have, uh, detected more cancer that has to be, uh, that has to be 09:38.320 --> 09:40.320 new, essentially. 09:40.320 --> 09:45.320 But since she just, you know, her most recent radio therapy was, was pretty recent. 09:45.320 --> 09:47.320 Uh, they just have to wait. 09:47.320 --> 09:52.320 You know, otherwise you fry someone up if you just keep, keep blasting him with radio therapy. 09:52.320 --> 09:56.320 So the only way that clears up, of course, is through a natural process. 09:56.320 --> 10:01.320 And if your general health is, is good, then it, of course, the healing goes much faster. 10:01.320 --> 10:06.320 So she's in this very interesting race where, you know, she feels much better every day, 10:06.320 --> 10:12.320 yet she knows that, you know, on the inside, uh, there's deterioration, deterioration. 10:12.320 --> 10:14.320 Uh, the shit is eating her up. 10:14.320 --> 10:15.320 Just put it that way. 10:15.320 --> 10:21.320 Um, but to man, she was in great spirits, um, eating like a dock worker. 10:21.320 --> 10:24.320 We even sat outside on, uh, on the hospital balcony. 10:24.320 --> 10:25.320 And yeah, it was just good. 10:25.320 --> 10:28.320 Of course, the visiting hours are much later than normal. 10:28.320 --> 10:31.320 So I booked the, the Rotterdam Airport hotel. 10:31.320 --> 10:32.320 There's one. 10:32.320 --> 10:35.320 Only, it's not a very big airport, but it's an international airport. 10:35.320 --> 10:39.320 Uh, for, um, I think they could take, uh, the, I think the 737 is the biggest, 10:39.320 --> 10:41.320 uh, aircraft aircraft they can take. 10:41.320 --> 10:45.320 So we left, uh, the Delta Sheriff there overnight had a great flight, by the way. 10:45.320 --> 10:48.320 It was, uh, man, even though, because the weather, when it's warm, you get a lot more 10:48.320 --> 10:53.320 thermals, and you get a lot more turbulence when you're, uh, see below, below three and a half 10:53.320 --> 10:54.320 thousand feet. 10:54.320 --> 10:58.320 It was pretty bumpy, but then we went up over the channel, flight level 555, five and a half 10:58.320 --> 10:59.320 thousand feet. 10:59.320 --> 11:01.320 And it was like the, like the plane was on rails, man. 11:01.320 --> 11:04.320 It was just smooth, gliding, and the weather was beautiful. 11:04.320 --> 11:06.320 So that was really nice. 11:06.320 --> 11:10.320 Um, now I, uh, so I, I booked the hotel. 11:10.320 --> 11:14.320 I booked the hotel for myself and for a captain Dan, who, of course, still flies within 11:14.320 --> 11:17.320 the all the time, as my safety pilot. 11:17.320 --> 11:20.320 Um, because otherwise, you know, we would've had to come back after hours. 11:20.320 --> 11:23.320 It could've gotten dark, you know, you know, it's just, what differences 11:23.320 --> 11:24.320 to make? 11:24.320 --> 11:26.320 I figured we just leave Sunday morning. 11:26.320 --> 11:30.320 So of course, Saturday night, we had the grand opening of the pod show palace 11:30.320 --> 11:34.320 and the casino in, uh, second life. 11:34.320 --> 11:39.320 And now as you know, my Mac fried, my power book, which was my primary 11:39.320 --> 11:42.320 machine, which I had really run everything off of. 11:42.320 --> 11:46.320 So the only other machine I had that, uh, that I could take with me was the, uh, 11:46.320 --> 11:49.320 to sheep, a portage a laptop. 11:49.320 --> 11:54.320 Excuse me, since I'm, which runs, uh, cast blaster, which I use all the time, 11:54.320 --> 11:59.320 basically just for production purposes for the show for you running cast blaster. 11:59.320 --> 12:01.320 So I loaded the second life on to it. 12:01.320 --> 12:05.320 Interestingly enough, and if you don't know what second life is, go to secondlife.com. 12:05.320 --> 12:08.320 But if you listen to this show, if you're listening from more than four episodes, you do. 12:08.320 --> 12:10.320 It's, uh, I guess it's a game. 12:10.320 --> 12:11.320 It's a virtual world. 12:11.320 --> 12:13.320 It's, uh, it's a place to go. 12:13.320 --> 12:14.320 It's a place to do things. 12:14.320 --> 12:16.320 And basically hook up with people. 12:16.320 --> 12:20.320 That was the whole point of the pod show palace, uh, and the grand opening. 12:20.320 --> 12:23.320 So I have to say that second life runs a hell of a lot faster. 12:23.320 --> 12:28.320 The, the resin and just everything works seemingly much faster, which is pretty, 12:28.320 --> 12:30.320 pretty interesting to me. 12:30.320 --> 12:35.320 Now this hotel, which is a golden tulip, the Rotterdam Airport hotel. 12:35.320 --> 12:38.320 Um, it's small, you know, it has, I think, 90 rooms. 12:38.320 --> 12:41.320 In fact, before it was a hotel that was used as a, uh, 12:41.320 --> 12:44.320 asylum-seeker detention place. 12:44.320 --> 12:47.320 So it kind of has a whole bunch of smaller rooms. 12:47.320 --> 12:51.320 Um, and what they, even though the rooms are fine, you know, it's, uh, 12:51.320 --> 12:54.320 it's, it's perfect business hotel. 12:54.320 --> 12:56.320 They don't have Wi-Fi in the rooms. 12:56.320 --> 12:59.320 In fact, there was no connectivity in the rooms. 12:59.320 --> 13:03.320 But in the bar and in the lobby, there's Wi-Fi, which is that Swisscom crap that, 13:03.320 --> 13:07.320 oh, man, which cost you like 18 bucks for an hour or something, 13:07.320 --> 13:09.320 totally ridiculous. 13:09.320 --> 13:11.320 But so no problem. 13:11.320 --> 13:12.320 I figured I'd go downstairs. 13:12.320 --> 13:15.320 The lobby's really is quite nice, and I kind of sat in the corner, 13:15.320 --> 13:18.320 so I had power for the, for the laptop, and, you know, I hopped on. 13:18.320 --> 13:24.320 And, and now, uh, earlier, because we had, we had dinner in the hotel. 13:24.320 --> 13:26.320 We noticed that a whole bunch of people were going upstairs, 13:26.320 --> 13:30.320 and it sounded like a wedding or some other kind of party was going on. 13:30.320 --> 13:34.320 And so now around, I don't know, one, thirty, one, forty, five. 13:34.320 --> 13:37.320 You know, I'm popping back and forth, talking to people. 13:37.320 --> 13:41.320 I've got my virtual Tuxedo on in second life for the opening, and, you know, 13:41.320 --> 13:43.320 there's just all kinds of stuff going on. 13:43.320 --> 13:45.320 So I'm pretty much focused on the screen, but of certain, 13:45.320 --> 13:48.320 I can, I can feel, I can sense that people are, like, 13:48.320 --> 13:52.320 near me in my vicinity, if you will, like, had a, a radar, 13:52.320 --> 13:55.320 and I can, you know, kind of sense that, and I think they're looking at me. 13:55.320 --> 13:58.320 Now, remember, Patricia and I are pretty well known in the Netherlands. 13:58.320 --> 14:01.320 So even though I had my head down, it was kind of buried in my work, 14:01.320 --> 14:04.320 I could tell that people were recognizing me, and, you know, 14:04.320 --> 14:06.320 then, then, of course, they'll start to make comments. 14:06.320 --> 14:09.320 And I even said, hey, you know, I'm, I'm just working here, 14:09.320 --> 14:12.320 you know, trying to give them the hint that I was actually doing something 14:12.320 --> 14:16.320 that was productive, and I didn't really want to be disturbed. 14:16.320 --> 14:19.320 It didn't matter, because the people who were there had come from this, 14:19.320 --> 14:22.320 what I thought was a wedding party upstairs. 14:23.320 --> 14:28.320 It was a 55 plus singles night. 14:30.320 --> 14:34.320 So you can only imagine that around 130, quarter to two, 14:34.320 --> 14:38.320 everyone was pretty tanked up and horny, and it was quite frightening. 14:38.320 --> 14:42.320 Let me tell you, because as a whole bunch of old horny guys, 14:42.320 --> 14:46.320 and I'll just say that they were well over 55. 14:46.320 --> 14:50.320 And then there was, you know, some spring chickens probably around 55. 14:50.320 --> 14:54.320 And they saw me, and they were like, very interested in me, 14:54.320 --> 14:58.320 and it got, I actually almost had to run for my life. 14:58.320 --> 15:00.320 And it was like 100 of them. 15:00.320 --> 15:04.320 And, you know, as soon as I could, and, you know, they want to take pictures 15:04.320 --> 15:08.320 and rub my ass and whatever, and I ran back to my room, 15:08.320 --> 15:10.320 and I figured, you know, I'll wait for a little while. 15:10.320 --> 15:12.320 And I checked it, like, at 2.15, 2.30, 15:12.320 --> 15:15.320 and was still jam packed down there, so I like screw it. 15:15.320 --> 15:18.320 And then the next day, we had to fly back, 15:18.320 --> 15:24.320 so, you know, off to the jet center, where the lovely Delta Sheriff was standing, 15:24.320 --> 15:26.320 waiting in the flew back, and there was an air show, 15:26.320 --> 15:30.320 big and hill, so it was just a very, 15:30.320 --> 15:34.320 a tiring weekend, let's just put it that way. 15:34.320 --> 15:38.320 But it was fun, and it was great to see that my mom was doing so well. 15:38.320 --> 15:40.320 So, at all, be able to visit her, 15:40.320 --> 15:44.320 want to visit her Saturday, and then I think Tuesday, 15:44.320 --> 15:46.320 it's off to San Francisco again, 15:46.320 --> 15:48.320 this time probably for two weeks. 15:48.320 --> 15:52.320 So, due to the crash of the power book, and yeah, 15:52.320 --> 15:55.320 I'm going to take it back, or send it back. 15:55.320 --> 15:58.320 I haven't decided if I'm going to send it, I think goes to Ireland, 15:58.320 --> 16:02.320 or I'll just take it back to the store in San Francisco. 16:02.320 --> 16:05.320 I, of course, I had my outline, my omni outline, 16:05.320 --> 16:07.320 where the whole bunch of voicemail feedback, 16:07.320 --> 16:09.320 and promo is all kinds of stuff. 16:09.320 --> 16:11.320 And so, it's still on the machine, it's on the drive, 16:11.320 --> 16:13.320 I just can't get to it. 16:13.320 --> 16:15.320 And so, if you want to hook me up, 16:15.320 --> 16:17.320 and give me some more good feedback, 16:17.320 --> 16:19.320 or repeat whatever you sent in over the past week. 16:19.320 --> 16:23.320 Voice mail numbers for the US in New Jersey, 16:23.320 --> 16:27.320 201-625-635-7, or in, 16:27.320 --> 16:29.320 or our number in London, 16:29.320 --> 16:30.320 with someone correctly pointed out, 16:30.320 --> 16:32.320 do you only want people from London now, 16:32.320 --> 16:33.320 is for anyone to call, of course, 16:33.320 --> 16:35.320 I'm just giving you a choice of numbers. 16:35.320 --> 16:38.320 O2O-7-6A-1375-3. 16:39.320 --> 16:40.320 Hi, Adam, Kelly Muller. 16:40.320 --> 16:42.320 I just like to thank you for playing my song 16:42.320 --> 16:44.320 on your great pod show. 16:44.320 --> 16:45.320 It means an awful lot to me. 16:45.320 --> 16:46.320 Thank you. 16:46.320 --> 16:47.320 It's an honor. 16:47.320 --> 16:48.320 Thank you, bye. 16:48.320 --> 16:51.320 That was, it was Kelly Muller, 16:51.320 --> 16:52.320 that was a demo song. 16:52.320 --> 16:53.320 Was it, would we play that? 16:53.320 --> 16:54.320 Did I play that? 16:54.320 --> 16:57.320 Shoot, let me, let me just see. 16:57.320 --> 16:59.320 I wasn't expecting that one to pop up, 16:59.320 --> 17:00.320 actually. 17:00.320 --> 17:01.320 Hold on, let me just see, 17:01.320 --> 17:02.320 when did I play her? 17:02.320 --> 17:03.320 I think that was actually, 17:03.320 --> 17:05.320 it was something that was listed as a demo. 17:05.320 --> 17:07.320 See, I'm now in the pod safe music network, 17:07.320 --> 17:09.320 and it makes it real easy to go find it. 17:09.320 --> 17:10.320 Kelly Muller there it is. 17:10.320 --> 17:11.320 You're a word. 17:11.320 --> 17:13.320 Let me just remind ourselves 17:13.320 --> 17:14.320 what that song was like, 17:14.320 --> 17:16.320 since she was so nice to call in. 17:16.320 --> 17:18.320 Yeah, she's from the UK, right, right, right, right, right, 17:18.320 --> 17:19.320 or was it. 17:19.320 --> 17:21.320 It was, 17:21.320 --> 17:23.320 it's not me now. 17:27.320 --> 17:29.320 More than a dream, 17:29.320 --> 17:30.320 crap. 17:30.320 --> 17:33.320 Sorry, bear with me, let me see if I can, 17:34.320 --> 17:37.320 okay, at least the computer's working. 17:37.320 --> 17:38.320 Your words, that's what it was, okay, 17:38.320 --> 17:40.320 I'm looking at my playlist now 17:40.320 --> 17:42.320 on the pod safe music network, 17:42.320 --> 17:43.320 here we go. 17:43.320 --> 17:45.320 So I guess we can just play this straight from the page, right? 17:45.320 --> 17:46.320 Here we go. 17:46.320 --> 17:48.320 Let's just see what that was again. 17:48.320 --> 17:50.320 Is it working? 17:50.320 --> 17:52.320 Anything? 17:52.320 --> 17:53.320 Any sounds? 17:53.320 --> 17:54.320 Yeah. 17:54.320 --> 17:56.320 Oh, that's right. 17:56.320 --> 17:58.320 Oh, man. 17:58.320 --> 18:01.320 Yeah, that was the drip drip drop drip drip song. 18:02.320 --> 18:03.320 Awesome. 18:03.320 --> 18:05.320 Very cool. 18:05.320 --> 18:08.320 Okay, I guess I should tell you why it sounds 18:08.320 --> 18:10.320 a little disjointed today. 18:10.320 --> 18:12.320 So I've made a decision. 18:12.320 --> 18:13.320 First of all, 18:13.320 --> 18:15.320 thank you all so much for trying to help out 18:15.320 --> 18:16.320 with the power book. 18:16.320 --> 18:18.320 I have no idea what it is. 18:18.320 --> 18:19.320 You know, people have given me the power 18:19.320 --> 18:22.320 management unit reset sequence. 18:22.320 --> 18:24.320 I actually tried to boot from the CD 18:24.320 --> 18:26.320 or the DVD I think it is. 18:26.320 --> 18:27.320 That's always a good one 18:27.320 --> 18:29.320 because if you put it in 18:30.320 --> 18:32.320 the CD, it will try and boot up from. 18:32.320 --> 18:34.320 But now of course the keyboard doesn't seem to be working. 18:34.320 --> 18:38.320 So it's not recognizing the DVD to boot up from the drive 18:38.320 --> 18:41.320 and the only way to have it eject upon startup 18:41.320 --> 18:43.320 is hold down the mouse button, which of course 18:43.320 --> 18:44.320 also isn't working. 18:44.320 --> 18:47.320 So now it's, I'm even further from where I was when I started 18:47.320 --> 18:49.320 and it's not booting up at all. 18:49.320 --> 18:52.320 And you know, and I have to work. 18:52.320 --> 18:56.320 I just need to, I need to get my stuff moving. 18:57.320 --> 19:00.320 And some theories about why this has happened. 19:00.320 --> 19:04.320 It's my third fried power book in any year. 19:04.320 --> 19:08.320 Wants me left something on the on the curry.com message 19:08.320 --> 19:09.320 boards. 19:09.320 --> 19:11.320 Maybe it's the voltage in the UK, 19:11.320 --> 19:14.320 which apparently is significantly higher than the 19:14.320 --> 19:17.320 listed 220 to 230 volts. 19:17.320 --> 19:18.320 I don't know. 19:18.320 --> 19:19.320 It doesn't sound right to me. 19:19.320 --> 19:21.320 I think it's going through the transformer 19:21.320 --> 19:23.320 and the transformer's outputting. 19:24.320 --> 19:27.320 Not AC, but a DC power supply. 19:27.320 --> 19:29.320 So I don't, I don't think that that's it. 19:29.320 --> 19:33.320 But it was getting really, really hot. 19:33.320 --> 19:37.320 Particularly when I was using second life. 19:39.320 --> 19:42.320 And so, you know, I fell asleep with the, 19:42.320 --> 19:44.320 when it was still working. 19:44.320 --> 19:46.320 Right after we got back from San Francisco 19:46.320 --> 19:48.320 and I woke up and it was frying. 19:48.320 --> 19:50.320 It was roasting my nuts. 19:50.320 --> 19:52.320 Michael Musiel says, 19:52.320 --> 19:55.320 what we often do to save the old jewels 19:55.320 --> 19:58.320 is to use an old bean bag. 19:58.320 --> 20:01.320 Was it bean bag backed lap desk? 20:01.320 --> 20:03.320 The flat surface of the lap desk 20:03.320 --> 20:05.320 was ideal to set the lap top on. 20:05.320 --> 20:06.320 It allows air to get under the lap top 20:06.320 --> 20:08.320 and let the fans do their thing. 20:08.320 --> 20:11.320 Yeah, it's really because the fan can't blow it away. 20:11.320 --> 20:13.320 Hmm, I like this other thing though. 20:13.320 --> 20:14.320 That was sent to me. 20:14.320 --> 20:17.320 Emanroke, the chill pack. 20:18.320 --> 20:20.320 It's very, it's an ice pack. 20:20.320 --> 20:23.320 You put underneath your, your power book or your i-box. 20:23.320 --> 20:25.320 I don't know, your i-book or your MacBook, I guess. 20:25.320 --> 20:26.320 Only 20 bucks. 20:26.320 --> 20:27.320 What do you have to lose? 20:27.320 --> 20:28.320 I'll put a link up on the show notes. 20:28.320 --> 20:31.320 Chill pack with a K. 20:31.320 --> 20:34.320 So I made a decision as I was reading all this 20:34.320 --> 20:35.320 and I'm like, I don't, you know, 20:35.320 --> 20:38.320 I'm so tired of beta testing for Apple. 20:38.320 --> 20:40.320 I've been doing this for years. 20:40.320 --> 20:43.320 Since the, since, well, the first Mac to, 20:43.320 --> 20:46.320 that I was given, which was a Mac to X, 20:46.320 --> 20:49.320 which Apple loaned me back when they did that. 20:49.320 --> 20:51.320 That one actually held in for quite a long time, 20:51.320 --> 20:53.320 but I had to give it back to them. 20:53.320 --> 20:55.320 I believe it or not. 20:55.320 --> 20:57.320 You know, way after after, 20:57.320 --> 21:00.320 it was obsolete practically. 21:00.320 --> 21:06.320 You know, I had the power book audio failure. 21:06.320 --> 21:09.320 And I have to say, you know, when did I get this, 21:09.320 --> 21:11.320 it was the last of the mohicans, 21:11.320 --> 21:15.320 the last Motorola based processor, 21:15.320 --> 21:19.320 which is a 167 gigahertz G4 power book. 21:19.320 --> 21:22.320 I was, I hadn't really mentioned it, 21:22.320 --> 21:24.320 but I was already quite disappointed 21:24.320 --> 21:27.320 with a couple of pieces of the hardware itself. 21:27.320 --> 21:29.320 Now, first of all, I already discussed about the sound, 21:29.320 --> 21:31.320 which was fixed with software, 21:31.320 --> 21:32.320 but I presume it was some, 21:32.320 --> 21:35.320 some different hardware that had to be fixed with the software hack. 21:35.320 --> 21:37.320 The keys are popping off, you know, 21:37.320 --> 21:40.320 and the same, I think we had this thing for two and a half months. 21:40.320 --> 21:43.320 So, you know, and already though there's the Mac book, 21:43.320 --> 21:46.320 the Mac book pro, and I'm like, I don't get it. 21:46.320 --> 21:48.320 You know, you buy a new machine, 21:48.320 --> 21:49.320 and there's a new one right, 21:49.320 --> 21:51.320 that's announced the next day, it seems, 21:51.320 --> 21:55.320 and I've just got to start to wonder about the quality of the hardware. 21:55.320 --> 21:56.320 I've had drives fail. 21:56.320 --> 21:58.320 I hear people with optical cable failure. 21:58.320 --> 22:01.320 Now, my keyboard and mouse won't work 22:01.320 --> 22:04.320 at the internal or even through USB. 22:04.320 --> 22:07.320 I'm starting to want to give up. 22:07.320 --> 22:10.320 And so, I did what I usually do in these cases. 22:10.320 --> 22:13.320 Okay, I'm going to migrate to some temporary machine, 22:13.320 --> 22:14.320 so I can at least work. 22:14.320 --> 22:15.320 And you know, I look around, 22:15.320 --> 22:19.320 like I've got one power book with a fried drive 22:19.320 --> 22:20.320 and a fried screen. 22:20.320 --> 22:23.320 You know, I've got one power book with a fried drive, 22:23.320 --> 22:26.320 running off of a fire wire drive, 22:26.320 --> 22:28.320 and I've got the most latest power book, 22:28.320 --> 22:32.320 which won't boot up and is fried as I just described. 22:32.320 --> 22:34.320 And then I had the Toshiba. 22:34.320 --> 22:37.320 So I say, you know what, I'll just use the Toshiba for now. 22:37.320 --> 22:42.320 And I discovered that I didn't really have that much to migrate. 22:42.320 --> 22:45.320 The most important migration is really just making sure 22:45.320 --> 22:48.320 that Firefox is installed because my email runs through Gmail. 22:48.320 --> 22:51.320 I use Google's calendar, 22:51.320 --> 22:55.320 which synchronizes perfectly to the blackberry. 22:55.320 --> 22:59.320 Although I just have it sent SMS, you know, a text alerts. 22:59.320 --> 23:04.320 When it's time for a meeting, I would have you for reminders. 23:05.320 --> 23:09.320 Pictures, all I had to do is install a flicker uploader 23:09.320 --> 23:12.320 because I don't store pictures locally anymore. 23:12.320 --> 23:16.320 I hunted around for some simple audio editing stuff. 23:16.320 --> 23:19.320 You know, multi track audio editing found mixed craft, 23:19.320 --> 23:22.320 which seems like it'll work perfectly, you know, 23:22.320 --> 23:23.320 for if I need to do, 23:23.320 --> 23:25.320 I don't really do a lot of multi track editing, 23:25.320 --> 23:27.320 but if I need to, it's there. 23:27.320 --> 23:29.320 A converter to MP3, 23:29.320 --> 23:33.320 you know, for WAV or AFF to MP3 file conversion, 23:33.320 --> 23:35.320 blaze, media pro or whatever. 23:35.320 --> 23:37.320 You know, just things that will cost me, 23:37.320 --> 23:38.320 you know, if I like them, you know, 23:38.320 --> 23:42.320 wind up paying 29 or 30 bucks for each of these small applications. 23:42.320 --> 23:46.320 But all of my data really lives somewhere else. 23:46.320 --> 23:50.320 And that really made me think about, 23:50.320 --> 23:53.320 you know, what is, what are we really talking about here? 23:53.320 --> 23:55.320 What do I really need? 23:55.320 --> 23:59.320 Now, of course, besides the outlines for, 23:59.320 --> 24:02.320 for the, for my show prep, which arguably, 24:02.320 --> 24:04.320 I'm sure I could store those online as well, 24:04.320 --> 24:06.320 although I do like kind of having the speed of, 24:06.320 --> 24:08.320 of those types of files local, 24:08.320 --> 24:10.320 crap. 24:10.320 --> 24:13.320 Hey, if you're listening to us on a serious stars on 102, 24:13.320 --> 24:16.320 then you want to hear the rest of my fabulous migration story, 24:16.320 --> 24:18.320 you'll have to go to dailysourcecode.com 24:18.320 --> 24:21.320 to download this podcast. 24:21.320 --> 24:23.320 And, well, while you're probably

M-Coff, 24:37.320 --> 24:39.320 and the Pacific Coast health players, 24:39.320 --> 24:41.320 are next here on serious, 24:41.320 --> 24:43.320 or there with you on serious, 24:43.320 --> 24:44.320 with Pacific Coast, 24:44.320 --> 24:46.320 Hellway, I'll talk to you tomorrow. 24:46.320 --> 24:47.320 Okay, so if you're still here, 24:47.320 --> 24:49.320 and you're still interested in this migration story, 24:49.320 --> 24:52.320 I really learned some incredible things. 24:53.320 --> 24:55.320 First of all, I, after, you know, 24:55.320 --> 24:57.320 playing around a little bit with, 24:57.320 --> 24:58.320 and this is a small lap. 24:58.320 --> 24:59.320 It's very, so I'd weigh, 24:59.320 --> 25:00.320 I don't know, two pounds, 25:00.320 --> 25:02.320 it's weighs nothing, which is nice, 25:02.320 --> 25:04.320 and has an enormous four, 25:04.320 --> 25:05.320 five-hour battery life, 25:05.320 --> 25:07.320 also quite nice, 25:07.320 --> 25:10.320 depending on what you're doing, of course. 25:10.320 --> 25:15.320 I was surprised at things like the scroll speed, 25:15.320 --> 25:19.320 much faster at scrolling windows. 25:20.320 --> 25:22.320 I also, of course, it's partly the screen, 25:22.320 --> 25:23.320 and this is what Apple really does. 25:23.320 --> 25:26.320 Apple makes really beautiful looking products, 25:26.320 --> 25:29.320 and puts a lot of quality pieces into it, 25:29.320 --> 25:31.320 like their displays, 25:31.320 --> 25:33.320 their track pads, 25:33.320 --> 25:34.320 all of that stuff, 25:34.320 --> 25:35.320 and so they, 25:35.320 --> 25:36.320 it's almost like they, 25:36.320 --> 25:38.320 they finally got the operating system right, 25:38.320 --> 25:39.320 but, you know, 25:39.320 --> 25:42.320 now they're kind of letting the hardware slip a little bit, 25:42.320 --> 25:44.320 and I guess when I'm realizing now that I'm, 25:44.320 --> 25:48.320 I'm using the wind tail combination of windows, 25:48.320 --> 25:49.320 which, I mean, let's face it, 25:49.320 --> 25:52.320 there's not really that much difference. 25:52.320 --> 25:54.320 You know, you just have to kind of get, 25:54.320 --> 25:56.320 even most of the key commands are the same now. 25:56.320 --> 25:58.320 You know, control W to close a window, 25:58.320 --> 26:00.320 there's no control quit, 26:00.320 --> 26:02.320 so you do like all F4 or something. 26:02.320 --> 26:03.320 I can get used to that, 26:03.320 --> 26:05.320 and not have been using it for a day and a half. 26:05.320 --> 26:07.320 I'm kind of, you know, 26:07.320 --> 26:08.320 already, you know, 26:08.320 --> 26:09.320 I love doing this stuff. 26:09.320 --> 26:12.320 It's almost like driving on the left hand side of the road 26:12.320 --> 26:13.320 here in the UK, 26:13.320 --> 26:14.320 and the right hand side of the car, 26:14.320 --> 26:15.320 it's great for your brain, 26:15.320 --> 26:16.320 you know, it's, 26:16.320 --> 26:18.320 it makes new neural connections, 26:18.320 --> 26:20.320 and synapses are firing all over the place. 26:20.320 --> 26:23.320 Yeah, even if you just take a different route to work one day, 26:23.320 --> 26:24.320 that's good, 26:24.320 --> 26:26.320 that's actually food for your brain. 26:26.320 --> 26:27.320 So I did, I thought, 26:27.320 --> 26:28.320 you know, 26:28.320 --> 26:29.320 maybe you don't make me a little bit smarter. 26:29.320 --> 26:31.320 I'll have more to dumb down with this blifig. 26:31.320 --> 26:33.320 I'm liking it. 26:33.320 --> 26:35.320 I guess that's what I, what I want to say. 26:35.320 --> 26:37.320 Now, of course, 26:37.320 --> 26:38.320 doing the show, 26:38.320 --> 26:39.320 I always have, 26:39.320 --> 26:40.320 as I said, 26:40.320 --> 26:42.320 cast blaster running on the laptop, 26:42.320 --> 26:44.320 and then I have all my show information, 26:45.320 --> 26:47.320 on the power book, 26:47.320 --> 26:50.320 which I put on a higher shelf level at the podcast complex. 26:50.320 --> 26:51.320 I'm, 26:51.320 --> 26:52.320 and if you do the show, 26:52.320 --> 26:53.320 you don't even know what that is. 26:53.320 --> 26:56.320 I'll put a link into the picture of the podcast complex. 26:56.320 --> 26:58.320 The station. 26:58.320 --> 27:01.320 So after I dropped Christina off this morning's school, 27:01.320 --> 27:02.320 I went out, 27:02.320 --> 27:03.320 and I bought a, 27:03.320 --> 27:04.320 what is this, 27:04.320 --> 27:06.320 an LG monitor? 27:06.320 --> 27:07.320 So it's a, 27:07.320 --> 27:09.320 19 inch, 27:09.320 --> 27:10.320 19 inch, 27:10.320 --> 27:12.320 flat screen LCD, 27:13.320 --> 27:14.320 no speakers, 27:14.320 --> 27:15.320 no audio. 27:15.320 --> 27:16.320 So it's, 27:16.320 --> 27:17.320 it's a very, 27:17.320 --> 27:18.320 you know, 27:18.320 --> 27:19.320 nicely compact unit. 27:19.320 --> 27:20.320 Only two wires coming out the back, 27:20.320 --> 27:21.320 no audio cables or anything. 27:21.320 --> 27:22.320 It's just, 27:22.320 --> 27:24.320 just it here to provide a beautiful display. 27:24.320 --> 27:26.320 And I bought a, 27:26.320 --> 27:27.320 it was a logic tech, 27:27.320 --> 27:28.320 wireless keyboard, 27:28.320 --> 27:29.320 wireless mouse. 27:29.320 --> 27:30.320 So that, 27:30.320 --> 27:31.320 you know, 27:31.320 --> 27:33.320 I would have a full-size keyboard to use, 27:33.320 --> 27:34.320 because the, 27:34.320 --> 27:35.320 the portage, 27:35.320 --> 27:36.320 keyboard is, 27:36.320 --> 27:38.320 is really quite tiny. 27:38.320 --> 27:39.320 So I hooked it up, 27:39.320 --> 27:40.320 you know, 27:40.320 --> 27:42.320 the extended desktop feature, 27:42.320 --> 27:44.320 which works just like my Mac. 27:44.320 --> 27:45.320 You kind of, 27:45.320 --> 27:46.320 you know, 27:46.320 --> 27:47.320 I had to hunt around for it, 27:47.320 --> 27:48.320 of course to find it. 27:48.320 --> 27:50.320 And that is really the thing is, 27:50.320 --> 27:52.320 you can really do everything you want, 27:52.320 --> 27:53.320 and, 27:53.320 --> 27:55.320 and create the same type of user experience, 27:55.320 --> 27:57.320 that you would find on a, 27:57.320 --> 28:00.320 on a Mac with a Windows, 28:00.320 --> 28:01.320 you know, 28:01.320 --> 28:03.320 generic hardware combination. 28:03.320 --> 28:05.320 It's just how they design it, 28:05.320 --> 28:06.320 you know, 28:06.320 --> 28:07.320 all the, 28:07.320 --> 28:08.320 all the API hooks are there. 28:08.320 --> 28:09.320 It's just, 28:09.320 --> 28:10.320 you know, 28:10.320 --> 28:11.320 you know, 28:11.320 --> 28:12.320 you know, 28:12.320 --> 28:13.320 you know, 28:13.320 --> 28:14.320 all mapped out, 28:14.320 --> 28:17.320 and it's not consistently moved from one machine to the other. 28:17.320 --> 28:20.320 But I think I might be able to customize this to actually create the, 28:20.320 --> 28:21.320 you know, 28:21.320 --> 28:23.320 the experience that I want, 28:23.320 --> 28:25.320 and I might even stick with it. 28:25.320 --> 28:26.320 I don't know. 28:26.320 --> 28:28.320 I'm feeling pretty weird about this. 28:28.320 --> 28:30.320 So I'm going to give it a shot. 28:30.320 --> 28:31.320 Here's what I'll do. 28:31.320 --> 28:32.320 I'm going to give this a shot, 28:32.320 --> 28:33.320 at least until, 28:33.320 --> 28:34.320 I can get the Mac, 28:34.320 --> 28:35.320 and I'll take the, 28:35.320 --> 28:38.320 the Mac back to the store on San Francisco and let them deal with it. 28:38.320 --> 28:42.320 I'm just going to live on Windows for a little while. 28:42.320 --> 28:45.320 And hopefully it won't frustrate me too much, 28:45.320 --> 28:47.320 and you'll be along for the ride. 28:47.320 --> 28:48.320 Hi Adam. 28:48.320 --> 28:50.320 This is Franco from Raka Sitalia, 28:50.320 --> 28:52.320 and from the Land of Great Motivations, 28:52.320 --> 28:56.320 I can give you some cultural contribution to the Charlie. 28:56.320 --> 28:59.320 I really don't know which credit card you want, 28:59.320 --> 29:00.320 but I assure you, 29:00.320 --> 29:03.320 standard credit card dimensions are not in golden rate. 29:03.320 --> 29:05.320 Standard credit cards are off. 29:05.320 --> 29:06.320 Yeah, 29:06.320 --> 29:07.320 and I've got to set this up. 29:07.320 --> 29:12.320 So this was about the conversation I had with the Charles Flasher, 29:12.320 --> 29:14.320 and it was about the Golden Ratio, 29:14.320 --> 29:19.320 about the aspect ratio that is used in art and architecture and design, 29:19.320 --> 29:22.320 and I was pretty sure that credit cards were based on the Golden Ratio, 29:22.320 --> 29:24.320 but apparently, according to Franco, they're not. 29:24.320 --> 29:27.320 It's default by 86 centimeters, 29:27.320 --> 29:31.320 and the ratio is 1.5925 and on and on, 29:31.320 --> 29:34.320 and the Golden Ratio is 1.6180. 29:34.320 --> 29:37.320 They do, maybe it's because I got one of those American Express black cards. 29:37.320 --> 29:38.320 They have a different ratio. 29:38.320 --> 29:42.320 An infinite sequence of numbers. 29:42.320 --> 29:44.320 It's an irrational number, you know. 29:44.320 --> 29:48.320 And it's been considered a very, very strange number, 29:48.320 --> 29:50.320 a Marvelous number, 29:50.320 --> 29:54.320 because it occurs many, many times in mathematics, in nature, 29:54.320 --> 30:00.320 and it's been used in art, in paintings, in architecture too. 30:00.320 --> 30:03.320 If you want the easiest way to get to the Golden Ratio, 30:03.320 --> 30:06.320 you've got to take two measures, 30:06.320 --> 30:11.320 if the ratio between the smallest and the largest, 30:11.320 --> 30:15.320 is the same between the largest and the sum of the two, 30:15.320 --> 30:18.320 you've got two dimensions in golden ratio. 30:18.320 --> 30:20.320 This looks easy, 30:20.320 --> 30:23.320 then you can take the sequence of Fibonacci, 30:23.320 --> 30:24.320 Italian mathematician, 30:24.320 --> 30:27.320 Fibonacci, a lot of time thinking about numbers. 30:27.320 --> 30:30.320 I'll definitely put in a link to Fibonacci, 30:30.320 --> 30:34.320 run semi-link after hearing about the Golden Ratio on an earlier show. 30:34.320 --> 30:36.320 It's fascinating stuff. 30:36.320 --> 30:39.320 You've got to kind of get through all the scary formulas, 30:39.320 --> 30:41.320 but when you're there, it's fascinating. 30:41.320 --> 30:43.320 He made the Fibonacci sequencing, 30:43.320 --> 30:46.320 which every number is the sum of the previous two, 30:46.320 --> 30:49.320 so you start with zero and one, 30:49.320 --> 30:52.320 and then you have one and two and three and five and eight, 30:52.320 --> 30:56.320 13, 21, 34, 55 and on and on. 30:56.320 --> 30:58.320 Each number, the sum of the previous two. 30:58.320 --> 31:01.320 Well, if you take any number of these sequence 31:01.320 --> 31:03.320 and divide it by the previous one, 31:03.320 --> 31:05.320 you've got always the same number. 31:05.320 --> 31:07.320 That's the golden ratio again. 31:07.320 --> 31:09.320 And you've got this in nature too, 31:09.320 --> 31:10.320 you take the nautilus, 31:10.320 --> 31:12.320 which is a creature of the sea, 31:12.320 --> 31:15.320 it's some kind of spiral shell. 31:15.320 --> 31:18.320 You take each arm of the spiral shell, 31:18.320 --> 31:22.320 you divide the width of each spiral arm, 31:22.320 --> 31:25.320 with the previous arm, 31:25.320 --> 31:27.320 you've got the golden ratio. 31:28.320 --> 31:30.320 So it occurs a lot of time, 31:30.320 --> 31:33.320 and it's used a lot in symbology too, 31:33.320 --> 31:36.320 from the mesons with the pentagon, 31:36.320 --> 31:40.320 and you can find a lot of strange, incredible information 31:40.320 --> 31:42.320 about this on any encyclopedia. 31:42.320 --> 31:44.320 You can find it on Wikipedia too, 31:44.320 --> 31:47.320 but you know you are a little allergic to Wikipedia, 31:47.320 --> 31:48.320 so yeah. 31:48.320 --> 31:52.320 Okay, I hope this is useful to sum of our listeners, 31:52.320 --> 31:55.320 and wish you a great weekend. 31:55.320 --> 31:56.320 Bye Adam. 31:56.320 --> 31:58.320 My listeners from Italy. 31:58.320 --> 31:59.320 Ciao, Ciao. 31:59.320 --> 32:00.320 Pronto. 32:00.320 --> 32:01.320 Franco. 32:01.320 --> 32:02.320 Thank you very much. 32:02.320 --> 32:04.320 You know Patricia keeps bugging me man. 32:04.320 --> 32:06.320 She says, dude, when we take it a little bit easier 32:06.320 --> 32:08.320 in a couple of years, 32:08.320 --> 32:09.320 like that's gonna happen. 32:09.320 --> 32:12.320 So I'd love a little apartment in Italy. 32:12.320 --> 32:16.320 Well, I'm gonna have to get my man Franco on the case, baby. 32:16.320 --> 32:19.320 Hey, this is Russell from the Raising Giants Podcast. 32:19.320 --> 32:23.320 I just got done with a purchase of hosting at godaddy.com, 32:23.320 --> 32:28.320 and with my purchase, I received a $1.99 and domain name. 32:28.320 --> 32:31.320 And so, for the next year, 32:31.320 --> 32:35.320 you are the recipient of all traffic heading to 32:35.320 --> 32:37.320 Curry Castle.com. 32:37.320 --> 32:40.320 That's right, Curry Castle.com was available, 32:40.320 --> 32:43.320 and is now pointing at curry.com. 32:43.320 --> 32:46.320 So hey, thanks for the great show Adam, 32:46.320 --> 32:48.320 and talk to you soon. 32:48.320 --> 32:49.320 Dude, thank you. 32:49.320 --> 32:52.320 What I'll do is I'll set up a page. 32:52.320 --> 32:56.320 That has one of those slurles to the, 32:56.320 --> 33:00.320 so you can open up the castle directly in second life. 33:00.320 --> 33:02.320 How's that sound? 33:02.320 --> 33:05.320 One other thing that there's pretty cool, 33:05.320 --> 33:08.320 although I'm waiting for the most recent entry, 33:08.320 --> 33:10.320 so I can't plan for you today. 33:10.320 --> 33:11.320 And there's a reason for that, too, 33:11.320 --> 33:14.320 because we've got a team of pod show, 33:14.320 --> 33:17.320 San Francisco's in London this week. 33:17.320 --> 33:20.320 Is the EarthLink Ad Challenge, 33:20.320 --> 33:23.320 where, you know, this is the, this is what you hear at the beginning of the podcast. 33:23.320 --> 33:25.320 You think advertising sucks? 33:25.320 --> 33:27.320 Well, we, and that's pod show, 33:27.320 --> 33:28.320 and EarthLink are putting our money, 33:28.320 --> 33:30.320 where our, well, your mouth is, 33:30.320 --> 33:33.320 and we want you to make an endorsement, 33:33.320 --> 33:35.320 or a commercial, or a jingle. 33:35.320 --> 33:36.320 What does it just be creative? 33:36.320 --> 33:37.320 It doesn't really matter. 33:37.320 --> 33:38.320 It's whatever you think will be an interesting way 33:38.320 --> 33:40.320 to advertise EarthLink services. 33:40.320 --> 33:43.320 Go to Ad Challenge ADCH-A-N-G, 33:43.320 --> 33:45.320 something or other. 33:45.320 --> 33:47.320 Double L in there. 33:47.320 --> 33:49.320 I'll put a link in the show notes. 33:49.320 --> 33:52.320 AdChallenge.podshow.com for all the details. 33:52.320 --> 33:54.320 And if, and if you're one of the winners, 33:54.320 --> 33:57.320 then you will actually make real money 33:57.320 --> 33:59.320 by this commercial going into rotation. 33:59.320 --> 34:02.320 So it's an opportunity, all part of our, 34:02.320 --> 34:04.320 quit your day job scheme, 34:04.320 --> 34:06.320 and quite a scheme it is indeed. 34:06.320 --> 34:08.320 Hey Adam, this is Stuart Story, a key Stuart Wolf 34:08.320 --> 34:10.320 in second life. 34:10.320 --> 34:13.320 Just have a couple of comments to say to you. 34:13.320 --> 34:17.320 First one's about the fantastic piece of podcasting software, 34:17.320 --> 34:19.320 called Cast Velastra. 34:19.320 --> 34:21.320 Or to know about Cast Velastra is, 34:21.320 --> 34:23.320 will there be a Cast Velastra light version? 34:23.320 --> 34:27.320 If it is, then I'll gladly test it out for you 34:27.320 --> 34:29.320 before it goes public. 34:29.320 --> 34:30.320 Just engage in it, 34:30.320 --> 34:32.320 and you know what I mean by Cast Velastra light. 34:32.320 --> 34:33.320 I mean like a rundown version of it, 34:33.320 --> 34:35.320 where, right now, 34:35.320 --> 34:38.320 can basically use it for free. 34:38.320 --> 34:39.320 And you don't have to pay for it 34:39.320 --> 34:41.320 like the actual Cast Velastra. 34:41.320 --> 34:43.320 Yeah, but Stuart, dude. 34:43.320 --> 34:46.320 If you download Cast Velastra from Cast Velastra.com, 34:46.320 --> 34:48.320 it does exactly that. 34:48.320 --> 34:51.320 And you can use full function for as long as you like, 34:51.320 --> 34:53.320 only it's time limited, 34:53.320 --> 34:55.320 so you can't create an hour's long podcast, 34:55.320 --> 34:58.320 but go ahead, man, you can test it out 34:58.320 --> 35:01.320 and make as many podcasts you like. 35:01.320 --> 35:03.320 So please, be my guest. 35:03.320 --> 35:05.320 I don't know if you actually check it out or not, 35:05.320 --> 35:06.320 but it's fully functional. 35:06.320 --> 35:08.320 This would help me a bunch, 35:08.320 --> 35:10.320 because I actually do a podcast, 35:10.320 --> 35:12.320 but I am plugged it on your podcast, 35:12.320 --> 35:14.320 but we'll do it at the end of this comment. 35:14.320 --> 35:16.320 It will help a lot, 35:16.320 --> 35:20.320 because we're trying to make the podcast absolutely free for me. 35:20.320 --> 35:23.320 So it's not making any donation, 35:23.320 --> 35:26.320 so we'll ask for a donation of the book. 35:26.320 --> 35:27.320 Okay, alright. 35:27.320 --> 35:29.320 So Stuart, go check it out at CastVastra.com. 35:29.320 --> 35:32.320 And hopefully this afternoon, 35:32.320 --> 35:34.320 I'm going to have a session with CastVastra Mike. 35:34.320 --> 35:38.320 We're going to sit down and do a Skype call and catch up. 35:38.320 --> 35:42.320 I wish I had more time to talk to developers more regularly. 35:42.320 --> 35:45.320 We've got a lot of developers that I love talking to, 35:45.320 --> 35:47.320 and it's a very creative process, 35:47.320 --> 35:51.320 but mainly due to time zone issues and stuff like that, 35:51.320 --> 35:53.320 and just when I'm over here, it's busy too. 35:53.320 --> 35:56.320 And with Mike, I like to spend a couple hours of possible, 35:56.320 --> 36:00.320 and we really should sit together as what we should do. 36:00.320 --> 36:03.320 Because he's got all kinds of features in there. 36:03.320 --> 36:08.320 All kinds of enhanced audio plus, 36:08.320 --> 36:10.320 so you can bake in pictures. 36:10.320 --> 36:13.320 Now, granted, that's only working in his receiver 36:13.320 --> 36:16.320 at the time being called Wind Potter. 36:16.320 --> 36:18.320 But the format is very easy, 36:18.320 --> 36:21.320 and it will work with any MP3 as far as I understand. 36:21.320 --> 36:24.320 So once we're over a couple of humps with our own player, 36:24.320 --> 36:27.320 the dashboard, then we're definitely going to implement that. 36:27.320 --> 36:30.320 And I haven't actually had an opportunity to get into it 36:30.320 --> 36:32.320 to figure out exactly how it works, 36:32.320 --> 36:35.320 but it's a typical CastVastra style doing stuff on the fly. 36:35.320 --> 36:39.320 So I'll keep you up to speed on that. 36:40.320 --> 36:42.320 Now, it's going to be a weird week. 36:42.320 --> 36:44.320 Wednesday, there may not be a show, 36:44.320 --> 36:48.320 because we've got our team in London this week. 36:48.320 --> 36:52.320 As you know, we have a great partnership with British telecom, 36:52.320 --> 36:55.320 and then we're talking about launching stuff really quickly. 36:55.320 --> 36:57.320 So you're going to see Pod Show Plus, 36:57.320 --> 37:00.320 the PDN launching in the United States, 37:00.320 --> 37:02.320 and of course for the rest of the world, 37:02.320 --> 37:05.320 but also specifically a version in the UK, 37:05.320 --> 37:08.320 which will be, you know, we're building a UK directory. 37:08.320 --> 37:11.320 There's no kind of all kinds of stuff that we're doing, 37:11.320 --> 37:13.320 and we're meeting with, 37:13.320 --> 37:17.320 we actually, we now have, I guess we call it a general manager 37:17.320 --> 37:19.320 for Pod Show in UK, 37:19.320 --> 37:21.320 fellow named Dan Winner. 37:21.320 --> 37:25.320 And so I've met him a couple of times over the past few months, 37:25.320 --> 37:28.320 and so it's just, it's going so incredibly fast. 37:28.320 --> 37:32.320 And I know nothing, nothing about setting up business in the UK. 37:32.320 --> 37:35.320 Other than that, I have to get different paperwork, 37:35.320 --> 37:37.320 but that'll be a part of my mission on the next San Francisco trip. 37:37.320 --> 37:40.320 So tomorrow night we're having dinner, 37:40.320 --> 37:43.320 and then, you know, we have meetings, 37:43.320 --> 37:46.320 Wednesday morning, meetings with advertising agencies, 37:46.320 --> 37:50.320 and production people, people for the offices. 37:50.320 --> 37:51.320 It's just, it's nuts. 37:51.320 --> 37:53.320 And what's cool about it is, you know, 37:53.320 --> 37:55.320 this is happening with real revenues. 37:55.320 --> 37:57.320 You know, this is not a, 37:57.320 --> 38:00.320 oh, let's take some investment money and go open up an office 38:00.320 --> 38:02.320 in every European country. 38:02.320 --> 38:05.320 No, this is, you know, like East Coast style that we're doing. 38:05.320 --> 38:08.320 It's like, okay, you know, it makes business sense now. 38:08.320 --> 38:10.320 And we see the revenues, we're going to open up an office. 38:10.320 --> 38:14.320 So it'll be a pretty low key and pretty cheap for a while, 38:14.320 --> 38:16.320 but I'm very excited about it. 38:16.320 --> 38:17.320 So looking forward to that Friday, 38:17.320 --> 38:19.320 I'm also going to go into the office. 38:19.320 --> 38:22.320 So there's a chance that Wednesday will either be, 38:22.320 --> 38:24.320 will not exist at all as a show, 38:24.320 --> 38:26.320 or it may be very late. 38:26.320 --> 38:27.320 So I'll keep you up the speed, 38:27.320 --> 38:29.320 and just keep you up the speed and what's going on, 38:29.320 --> 38:31.320 because this is darn cool. 38:31.320 --> 38:32.320 Come extra. 38:32.320 --> 38:34.320 Come extra. 38:34.320 --> 38:35.320 Come extra.

it's fine. 39:02.320 --> 39:04.320 Windows is fine. 39:04.320 --> 39:07.320 But usually these Windows things suck as telephones, 39:07.320 --> 39:10.320 or they're too big, and the blackberry really has it. 39:10.320 --> 39:12.320 Combined with Geneva and Eastern. 39:12.320 --> 39:16.320 Anyway, do you know maybe such game called cheeky beggars? 39:16.320 --> 39:17.320 Let's play it. 39:17.320

don't know, man, to have you as a beta test, 40:19.320 --> 40:21.320 so that seems like a lot of work. 40:21.320 --> 40:22.320 You know what I'm saying? 40:22.320 --> 40:25.320 It could swamp the entire development team. 40:26.320 --> 40:28.320 You know, since, you know, 40:28.320 --> 40:31.320 well, not just since, since thinking about pod show UK, 40:31.320 --> 40:33.320 but even since moving to the UK, 40:33.320 --> 40:37.320 I've, you know, really been trying to listen to as many UK podcasts as possible. 40:37.320 --> 40:40.320 Mainly just to, you know, to soak up culture, if you will. 40:40.320 --> 40:44.320 And, uh, want to congratulate Richard Vobes. 40:44.320 --> 40:48.320 I think today is his 500th show. 40:48.320 --> 40:50.320 He's got me beat. 40:50.320 --> 40:53.320

41:19.320 --> 41:20.320 How's this? 41:20.320 --> 41:23.320 Let the pod us fear and February with our single see the sun. 41:23.320 --> 41:27.320 Although we did notice immediate spikes in web traffic, pod play and fan mail. 41:27.320 --> 41:30.320 We had no way to gauge the dollars and sense of it all. 41:30.320 --> 41:37.320 But now the numbers are in sales are up 60% on iTunes, 50% on Amazon with no other explanation 41:37.320 --> 41:41.320 other than you guys and the amazing world you're making. 41:41.320 --> 41:43.320 We used to be on Geffen Records. 41:43.320 --> 41:47.320 But, you know, we spend more time talking to lawyers and suits than making music. 41:47.320 --> 41:48.320 Now we're independent. 41:48.320 --> 41:52.320 Spend our time talking to fans, making more money and rocking the daily source code. 41:52.320 --> 41:53.320 Thanks Adam. 41:53.320 --> 41:54.320 Do you? 41:54.320 --> 41:55.320 Dude. 41:55.320 --> 41:57.320 You can't just I can't tell you what that
